What a successful year will look like for the Texas Rangers in 2021

A successful Texas Rangers season: Young arms continue to rise

Finally, the Rangers have plenty of young arms that they are looking to see develop at the big league level.

Dane Dunning and Kyle Cody proved last year that they could be quality arms in the Texas rotation for years to come, but guys like Brock Burke and Joe Palumbo need to see healthy years.

Other youngsters like Wes Benjamin and Taylor Hearn, along with Brett de Geus and Demarcus Evans will need to prove they are ready for consistent big league outings.

The talent for all of them is there, and now is their time to shine.

For the two closers Jose Leclerc and Jonathan Hernandez, staying healthy is key.

Both guys have electric stuff and are some of the best in the game, so expect big things from the back of the Rangers bullpen.

The Rangers’ pitching staff should have their ups-and-downs, but if they can find this year’s Kyle Cody and see similar success from Dane Dunning, they’ll be in good shape, especially if Kyle Gibson and Jordan Lyles bounce back a little bit.

Final Thoughts

The Texas Rangers are not going to be great this year, we know that, but the current roster may surprise some people.

If the Rangers can find some success with developing their minor league studs, seeing continued Improvement from the big league youngsters and watching the veterans find their form, they’ll be a much better team than we expect.

They keys for this team to find success are right in front of them, but it’s unlocking their player’s true potential that is the hard part.

I believe that we’ll see much improved seasons from Willie Calhoun, Nick Solak and Joey Gallo.

I also think the Rangers’ pitching staff will be better than advertised.

Continued success for Leody Taveras will also be fun to watch, while the other studs find their next steps in the minor leagues.

We’ll have to wait and see what the Rangers do on draft day, but with a fresh opinion in the room, they’ll find the best fit for the organization.

Overall, this team is going to surprise some people, and if they can find a few hidden gems and see more development, the Texas Rangers will be on the playoff hunt faster than we may know.
